Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Don’t be tempted to use kalamata or other specialty olives in this recipe because the flavor would be too strong. The ripe olives are mild enough to add just a pleasant olive flavor without overpowering the egg flavor. However, feel free to substitute basil for the marjoram or parsley, or top with a cherry tomato wedge instead of an olive slice. Prepare the stuffed eggs up to 24 hours in advance. Refrigerate in a tightly covered container until serving time.
